Playback
Paths can be played with PathMaster® or downloaded and run on the workcell.
To run an individual path
1. Highlight an individual path from the PathMaster® window.
2. Select
Run ->Selection
from the drop-down menu or the right-click menu.
To run an entire program
3. Select
Run ->Program
from the drop-down menu or the right-click menu.
4. Before the path runs, the user must select “Wet”, “Dry” or “Virtual Tool 0”. The name
for the third option will be the name of Virtual Tool 0.
Figure 66: Playback
“Wet” playback activates the tool(s) and material will dispense. “Dry” playback does not
activate the tool(s). “
Virtual Tool 0” (replaced by the name of “Virtual Tool 0”) will run the
path with the teach tool at “
Virtual Tool 0” Z, as defined in Machine Parameters instead of
the run tool.
5. Select “Start” to run the path as selected or “Close” to exit without running the
path.
